Milwaukee Bucks

Underrated: Bobby Portis

While the Milwaukee Bucks might entertain the idea of trading Bobby Portis, I firmly believe he is among the most undervalued players on their roster. His combination of size and athleticism is something that many teams in the league covet at the power forward position. Coming off the bench, Portis excels in his designated role.

Although Portis may not be regarded as a marquee player, his contribution to the Bucks is undeniable, especially as the team aims to reestablish itself as a contender for the championship this season.

Overrated: Gary Trent Jr.

There exists a prevailing sentiment throughout the league, particularly highlighted during his free-agent negotiations, that Gary Trent Jr. was regarded by his team as possessing greater value than the perception held by other teams. This discrepancy is a significant factor contributing to Trent's decision to accept a minimum contract to restore his standing within the league.

To some degree, Trent can be considered an overrated player, a notion underscored by the minimal interest he received during the free agency period. While he is recognized as a proficient shooter, his overall contributions as a player leave much to be desired.
